Baseball Updates!

It has been awhile since I have posted a baseball update, and I wanted to before I posted about this past Saturday's game! Last Saturday, before Mikayla's pageant, we had to be at the ball field for Drew's game at 9:00. Drew and his teammates played very well, but we lost the game. We haven't won a game since the Jamboree, but Drew smiles and hasn't let it upset him. We are so pleased that he's playing his best. He batted 2 for 2 at this game with 2 singles! He also was able to get some outs at first base! We are so proud of our team, and especially Drew's attitude this season! I didn't get any pictures from that game because I was using the video camera. As soon as I figure out how to get part of a video on here I hope to add it. I will have to find a part that you don't hear so much of my loud mouth! :)

Drew also had a game last Tuesday, May 20 We got to the ball field with the sky looking pretty dark. Drew took some practice bats with Craig while we waited on the rest of our team to arrive.

Our team had gotten three outs against the other team and had come in to bat when we started hearing thunder in the distance. Since it was far away, the umpire decided to let our kids go ahead and bat. We made it about half way through our batting order with all of our kids getting on base except one. Drew got his eighth home run of the season!! With one out and several runs scored, close lightening had the umpire getting everyone to leave the stadium (us parents were grateful). He asked everyone to stay in their cars until he could see if we would be able to finish. It was raining so hard, and even hailing. After the storm passed the field was too flooded to continue with our game so the umpire called it. We will be resuming this game (everything will start just as it ended Tuesday night) this Wednesday night at 6:00. Drew can't wait. I just hope our team plays as good as they were that night!!
